I haven't blogged in forever. It's been busy, to say the least, around here.
There is always teenage taxi service going on. Amanda and David have been broken up for almost a month. He called her last night, just to talk. She is going out with a boy named Jamie, at the moment. He seems like a nice enough kid but they don't get to see each other often.
Amanda & Timmy, her best friend in the whole world, had a major blow up and she's mad as the dickens at him and won't speak to him. Hopefully they'll get it all worked out soon.
Spring break was last week. CRCT's are next week.
Dawn & Brian are engaged and have set the date as June 6,2008. Yep, that soon! They have been house hunting and finally found a cute little 3 bedroom house about 10 minute's away from us. They go Friday to sign the paper's and get the keys.
John is traveling alot lately with work. Nothing really new there! He has made a full recovery from his knee surgery and is doing great.
As for me.............I NEED A VACATION!

DRAPERY RODS......PRICELESS
She spent the first day packing her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.
On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things ..
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candle-light, put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar, and a bottle of spring-water . When she had finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of the curtain rods.
She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. When the husband returned with his new girlfriend, all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly, the house began to smell. They tried everything; cleaning, mopping and airing the place out . Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were steam cleaned .
Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters, during which they had to move out for a few days and in the end they even paid to replace the expensive wool carpeting.
Nothing worked!!!
People stopped coming over to visit. Repairmen refused to work in the house. The maid quit. Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move.
A month later, even though they had cut their price in half, they could not find a buyer for their stinky house . Word got out and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally, they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place. The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going.
He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back .
Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was, he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day .
She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork.
A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home.........
And to spite the ex-wife, they even took the the curtain rods!!!!!!
I LOVE A HAPPY ENDING, DON'T YOU?

HELLO?
JUNE 6, 2008 That's the day that Dawn & Brian will be getting married. They set the date yesterday. They are planning a very small ceremony with a very large party afterward. That cuts down on my work ALOT!
Amanda is going thru pure hell with her ex boyfriend. She broke up with him about a week ago. The boy will not go away! His mom called me yesterday and we talked for awhile. He is driving her nuts! She & I have remained friends. She wants them back together as she loves Amanda. She believes that Amanda is good for David. In alot of ways she is but he just wears her out. He's very jealous and insecure. His mom has taken his cell phone & moved him out of classes with Amanda. Amanda had gotten 41 texts from him in 2 hours, not counting the calls! She won't talk to him or text him back. He has gotten their friends to call & text her also on his behalf but she has explained to them that she is done and they have stopped.
Amanda is doing better every day with all of it. I just wish that he would give up already!
